Another beautiful day in the Ioanian.
We left the south bay anchorage on Levkas at 9am and meandered up the channel to the island of Skorpios. The island is still owned by the Onassis family and guaging by the hordes of charter yachts that visited throughout the day, it still holds a fascination to the world. We had to keep shooing away all the charter boats trying to anchor over the top of ours.
It was unbelievable how stupid they were dropping their lines. Of course, they were all only in for short periods - we wanted to make sure we were secure as we are staying the night. At sunset, when all the yachts had gone, we put on Maria Callas singing opera (she was Onassis girl friend) had a good bottle of red wine and watched a magnificent pink sunset which bathed the mainland out to the east in a beautiful warm glow and the water around us turned turquoise. As the sun set the Onassis family came down to the water\'s edge to bathe and enjoy the tranquility of the early evening.
Margarita came over to say goodbye - they are leaving early tomorrow and heading north to Corfu and then Croatia - it was sad to say goodbye. Tomorrow we head into the main port on Levkas and then the following day up the channel between the island and the mainland and around into Preveza to check out the marina. Plans may change if a forecast big blow comes through.
